Lincoln vs. Gandhi

I've decided to put a poll up on my blog, and every week people can come and vote on the question. Then at the end of the week I'll put up the results and discuss what I think about it.









The question was who would win in a fight; Abraham Lincoln or Mahatma Gandhi? With 8 votes altogether, 87% (7) voted for Lincoln and 13% (1) voted for Gandhi.

Now here's the thing. Lincoln easily has the height and reach advantage. He probably also has Gandhi out weighed to. But the thing that Gandhi has going for him is that he's proven that his body can take significant amounts of punishment and still keep going. I would also venture to say that Gandhi is probably a quick little bugger. Is Gandhi fast enough to take down Lincoln before Lincoln can beat Gandhi in the ground?

As with most of the others that voted I would have to say Lincoln would win in a fight. With the reach that Lincoln would have over Gandhi, I don't think Gandhi could get in close enough to do any damage. Lincoln would definitely win.
